Shiela: Probably don't look for loupes -- all the N. American
suppliers I know seem to call call them "magnifiers" or
hand-magnifiers.
To see what selection and range of magnifications/prices is
available, the best would be to google the insect supplies outfit in
California, called Bioquip. I think it is www.bioquip.com if you go
direct -- look in their on-line catalogue. they even have one with a
built-in light. Also, several are listed in the Edmund Optics
catalogue, also USA (NJ), at www.edmundoptics.com, but they tend to
be 'scientific' and possibly more pricey. Nearly all the major
science supply houses like Fisher are foreign-owned, but Canadawide
Scientific says it is Canadian-owned, at www.canadawide.com. They
have a page of magnifiers in their catalogue, too. The things are so
light that shipping costs ought to be small.
I don't know where you'd go locally -- try Carsand-Mosher who
undoubtedly do the plastic type with a transparent base that stands
on a page so you can examine the focus on a photo print, but it
sounds like you are after the fold-away pocket type, e.g. a Hastings
triplet.
